[PS2] Final Fantasy XII

I'm actually still playing VS now. I made an entry some time back, and Q was all over it like white on rice.

Also, LOL at VaNgrant Story. My awesome typo skills at work. I won't edit it, it's just funny that way. =D Sure is a great game.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

I've noticed the articulation on most of the FF figures, starting out with the AC line, are not too bad, but where there's a joint over the flesh colored areas, that's where it sticks out like sore thumb. But then again, these look pretty decent for about 1/12 size figures. I'm not expecting anything with 1/6 size because that's a whole different ball game. I'd wish they'd come how cover the front leg sockets with perhaps a small plastic "skirt", but it's still looks okay. : )

I was speaking idiomatically.

Hurry up and play Chrono Trigger, sir. :P

Played it and got that wild cave woman chick, didn't play much after. Sorry.

You effin' liar. You're playing Vagrant Story about as much as I'm playing Star Ocean 3. As in, not a whole lot as I sold my copy three months ago.

Oh shit, I got busted playing GTA: SA instead!

And after getting FFXII, I'll probably still put that one on the back burner. >_>

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

Hey! Not bad! For once I don't have to cringe over the voice acting. The accents do add quite a unique touch to them, and none of them sound too bad, actually, pretty damn good so far! Although Fran does sound somewhat like the witch from Wizard of Oz, from what I heard. >_>

FELIPE NO

Is this release period even confirmed. I honestly cannot see why they'd hold up on this any longer.

Thank god we have an "alive-voiced" Ashe rather than the sleepy Yuna. She was always... "oh..let's...laugh...together...let's make this...journey...full of laughter.." or some trite shit like that.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

The more I listen to Fran, the more of the image of the witch from Wizard of Oz comes to mind. She's got that somewhat scratchy voice to it.

"ARH ARH ARH! I WILL EAT UR CHILDREN"

There's nowhere I can't reach.

My precious....

No, not that rasp type of voice. Gollums was way rasp like it sounded he needed some throat drops, badly.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Well I did see Fran's mouth move and "speak" while some voices were present, so either someone else was talking and she was chewing gum, or another character just happened to talk right before/after her that gave the impression, OR it's really her voice. =/

As well, finally got to try out the FFXII demo and I thought it was quite alright actually. It pretty much played out as expected from watching all those in game movies, so that's okay.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

Yes Q is right.

For the first paragraph, it was for the English trailer.
The second was for the FFXII demo with DQVIII.

Also, the way that the English narrator says, "In the world of Ivalice, where, magic was commonplace...and airships plied the skies..." or something-a-rather was way over done. It was like watching a trailer for Spirits Within, or something. It wasn't annoying, but it wasn't very captivating.

This game will be better than FFXIII

I'd go so far to say that I'm looking forward very much to XII after playing the demo (which I found very fun, despite the comments posted here regarding said demo), but to say that X > Y at this point would be rather.... too quick to judge.

I was speaking idiomatically.

I need to listen to more of Fran's voice. I wanted a seducing voice for such a vixen like character. Walking around pratically in a medival style playboy bunny suit - she isn't a warrior, comfort bunny, anyone?

Man, ya know, living life as an ugly ass seeq is hard, so when I come back from work, selling vegetables in the market everyday in Ivalice, I need a bunny woman. FRAN! get me a tonic beer. It's in that thing they call a fridge on planet Earth, which is in a totally different dimension, yeah.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

Yeah an Old Hag. Fran looks like the serious business "no bullshit" type - she doesn't seem to like to smile. Having a condescending voice would suit her, as we already have a "naive-lets-rock-like-Yuffie-wannabe" Penelo. I'm not saying they look the same, but they seem to have similar attitudes, Rikku included.

In other related news, the FFXII OST comes out in 2 days.

FELIPE NO

Well honestly what else would they make him sound like, Barney? Actually that'd be pretty funny:

::Our city is UNDER ATTACK!::

::My father and mother, where are they?

:: (old man) Duh, let's sing some songs! the more we get together the happier we'll be.

Yeah, so in brief, having that old man (I'm assuming you're talking about this guy: Emperor Gramis) sound like Gandalf makes sense. At least SE could put that much effort in the NA release.

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

This may or may not be spoiler material, but it involves a screenshot with a questionable number of characters on screen, as well as a boss fight:

Spoiler:

This clip was taken from here. You can see there's four status bars. What's/who's the fourth one belong to?

Would you say this is just an NPC? Perhaps I should PM one of the guys in the spoilers thread to check this out, because I don't want to venture in there, yet.

How ya doing, buddy?

The characters are, in order, Vaan, Balthier, Fran, and Basch. I'd chalk up the presence of four people to an event battle, but I'm hardly a treasure trove of FFXII information.

However:

Spoiler:

I thought that the battle system only normally let 3 people per party? Perhaps this fight is a special exception.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

You just destroyed my FFXII gaming experience and ruined everything, I will never forgive you.

Spoiler:

Aeries dies

But yes, that's what I thought. I remember seeing when you first start off controlling a character in FFXII that "you know who" in the castle and you fight one guard, and then right after that is the first bossm pretty easy, from the way I've seen various youtube movies show.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Yeah that's what I thought, like you've got an army of those AI drones, so I just sit back and pick my nose, or something.

At this moment, I'm looking for a few of the following, if they may or may not be released yet:

1) FFXII Art book

2) FFXII OST

3) FFXII Special Edition (of any type really). Of course I'll wait to see if North America gets some sort of special edtion, but I doubt it. If they do release a special edition of the walkthrough (kinda like how they did for X-2, then I'm picking that up for sure).

How ya doing, buddy?

5 more months, dear Jesus. As for the OST, I'm doing some hunting around to see where I should online shop from. I've got my eye on PlayAsia and Yesasia so far.

I was speaking idiomatically.

Yesasia has free shipping for orders over $39 USD, and this is selling for $38.50! GRRR!! For once, I wish they made it a bit more expensive. I got the Solid Snake figure from Yesasia, so I trust them that much.

Also, I'm busy LOL'ing reading NeoGAF:

How ya doing, buddy?

Details of cost of goods and shipping, if you don't mind. But damn, amazon.co.jp, don't know if I could read all the "fine print". I've not used amazon ever, only a couple times on eBay.

FELIPE NO

Ah shit! Patlabor 2 LE will have to wait. Sorry Q, I'm still a Patlabor Fan Boy, but I mean, we've both seen the movie, BUT THIS IS FFXII!

And orders over $25 USD get free shipping? Hot diggity damn!

Also, Simo, you might want to update the first page for the US release date. Sources tell me its October 24thish. And I forgot where I got my sources from ;___;. August is a no go, unfortunately.

How ya doing, buddy?

LOL no kidding. So any word of how many copies of this "limited edition" OST will be made? I feel sorta bad just ripping off them this time around. I have all of the OSTs on my harddrive, yet not a single real copy one.

You guys think it's too late if I order it now off of Yesasia?

Jam it back in, in the dark.

....Spy Kids???.....

At least he sounds decent (LOL Tidus) in the English trailer..but still,

....SPY KIDS???....

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Quote:

So, don't say that the actor will be bad. Just because you base it on some movie. Whether or not you've seen the trailer. You really can't say anything bad about him. As you never heard him fully in FFXII. But rather just some trailer of E3.

Nah, I'm definitely not bashing him, and I don't find his tone irritating so far, in the English trailer. Sorry, the Spy kid thing caught me sorta off guard, but then most (voice) actors gotta start somewhere right?

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

I've checked out the respective thread and will be picking this one up too. I've wanted a follow up thing from just somewhat freshly beating VP1 a few weeks ago.
